The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living (Compass)

"I believe God loves the world through us." ~ Mother Teresa"The Joy in Loving" is a beautiful book filled with many thoughts to ponder. Each page has an inspiring thought, a story or a prayer. The topics range from the lack of love in families to extreme poverty and the realities of abortion. You could read this book at a slower rate of one page a day as it is set up that way. It is also enjoyable to read all at once therefore giving yourself a must-needed spiritual boost. I was truly humbled by reading this collection of Mother Teresa's wisdom."Peace in the world is brought about not by force but by love." ~ Mother TeresaI think you will also enjoy: No Greater Love A Life for God: The Mother Teresa Reader ~The Rebecca Review

I love Mother Teresa and the difference she made in our World. She is definitely a good example on compassion.

I have several books of Mother Teresa's words of wisdom. This book is wonderful, just like the others. I find her messages meaningful, insightful, and inspirational. I recommend this book to anyone looking for some simple ways to become a better person.

Here it is, the one you have been looking for. A daily devotional packed with the sayings of Mother Teresa. Both this one and "NO GREATER LOVE" are wonderful reads you will want to share with others. I have purchased extra copies of both to give away as gifts to those near me. You will never regret your purchase of these books for they will be a daily blessing in your life.your brother in Christ,Albert

She makes our world a better place.

This is a compilation of little notes she wrote to others, or about herself. The good news is you can read a page at a time like a devotional...Full of the most touching experiences. I have given this book as a gift at least 10 times...everyone is so moved by it! (and I'm not even Catholic!)

if you are a spiritual person, this is the book of a lifetime. if you are open to the love of God, many of the daily meditations will bring tears to you eyes and your love of neighbor will grow immensely. this is especially true for the less fortunate, the sick and dying in your own backyard. so I suggest you read it faithfully, each day.

Got it for my daughter's birthday! Perused it. Great book. Just what I wanted for her.

ideal life practices well affirmed!

この本の日本語版を数年前に購入し、とても良かったので原書を購入しました。365日の日付と、そこにマザーテレサのショートメッセージが1日ごとに書かれています。一つ一つのメッセージはとてもシンプルなのですが、非常に奥深いもので、たくさんのことを考えさせられます。私は朝の瞑想の時間や、夜のリラックスタイム、電車の中などの空き時間に読んでいます。原書は少しサイズが大きいので、荷物を軽くしたい方は、文庫本サイズである、日本語版がおすすめです。日付通りに毎日1頁読んでもよし、ランダムに気になったところを読むのもよし...色々な読み方ができる素敵な本です。

Beautiful book and would make a lovely gift.

毎日一つずつ読んでいます。日本語訳の「マザー・テレサ日々のことば」とともに。（持っているのはハードカバーのもので、ISBN:0670876682、リサイクル本がお手頃です。）こころが洗われるようで、教会で祈りを捧げているような気持ちになります。マザー・テレサという人に直接お会いすることはもうできませんが、本の言葉をたどることは、まるでお会いしてその暖かい御手を頭に触れていただいて、大きな愛で包みこまれるように、癒されます。日本語訳の本もすばらしく読み返していますが、オリジナルの英語のお言葉は、マザーのお言葉がもっと近く感じられ、シンプルですんなり心に染み透ってきて、Loveが世界中にひろがってゆく気がします。併せて読むと、英語に対する垣根も縮まってゆくように思います。We are the world...地球上のいきものたちの未来の幸せを願っています。人も動物も木々も植物もそれぞれの命を輝かしく生きることができ、青く美しい地球が宇宙の中で輝き続けてゆきますように。

Excellent reminder of the life of a real true Christian. A role model to be sure.
